Europe have won back the Ryder Cup after Luke Donald's men saw off a USA fightback to clinch a memorable 16½-11½ triumph.

Donald's side were made to sweat in the heat in Rome before Tommy Fleetwood's birdie on 16 guaranteed him at least half a point in his match against Rickie Fowler to spark jubilant home celebrations after Europe were humbled 19-9 in Whistling Straits previously. 

Skipper Donald said: "Hopefully I laid out a good plan but they had to do it and play well. I am just happy they trusted me. It is a dream to be a captain. We made history today. Not many people gave us a chance after whistling Straits."

Donald's team prevailed after some titanic final day clashes at Marco Simone which witnessed brilliant golf from the likes of Rory McIlroy who picked up his fourth point with a stunning 3&1 win over Sam Burns in which he was eight-under for 17 holes. 

But there were numerous other impressive performances on both sides as we take a look at who shot what in their match-play encounters which included gimme putts and an automatic bogey where the pro failed to finish the hole.
